Why does Hebrew come out reversed?
Hebrew and Arabic are written right-to-left, but most software and file formats were designed first for English, which is written left-to-right. When such software saves or extracts Hebrew text, it sometimes stores the letters in the order they appear on screen ("visual" order) instead of reading order ("logical" order). The result: when another program reads the text, the letters come out backwards.
It happens most often when copying text out of a PDF, exporting from design or print software, or when a legacy system stores Hebrew without direction information. This tool flips the text back to logical order - so it reads correctly everywhere.
How to use it
- Paste the reversed text into the first box.
- The fixed result appears instantly in the second box.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Hebrew text reversed?
Because the tool that created or extracted it didn't preserve the writing direction. It stored the letters in the order they appear on screen instead of reading order. This tool reorders them back.
Do you store my text?
No. Everything happens in your browser. No text is ever sent to a server or stored on our side.
Does it work with Arabic?
Yes. Arabic is also written right-to-left and suffers from the same problem. The tool handles both languages.
What about numbers and English words inside the text?
They stay facing the right way. The tool detects English and number segments and keeps them readable left-to-right, even inside a Hebrew sentence.
I pasted correct text and it came out reversed - why?
The tool is meant for text that is already reversed. If you run it on correct text it will reverse it. Just run it again on the result to get back the original.
I have a whole PDF with reversed Hebrew, not just text
There are two different cases. If the PDF looks fine on screen but copies out reversed, paste that text here and you will get it back in order. But if the file itself shows the Hebrew reversed on the page (mirror writing), there is no automatic fix: both the PDF-to-Word converter and the editor rebuild reading order from where the letters sit on the page, so they preserve a correct file but cannot "guess" the intended order of an already-reversed one. In that case you need to recreate the document from the source.
